One Step Search Engine for 1881 Canada Census

Steve Morse has uploaded a One-Step form for the 1881 Canadian census. It's in the Canadian Census section of http://www.stevemorse.org/

One advantage of Steve's form is that the district and subdistricts can be selected from a drop-down list rather than requiring the user to type them in and possibly
misspelling them.

1881 Canada Census IMAGES now online

Library & Archives Canada has just put the images for the 1881 Canada Census online. The census is fully searchable and you can view the page for any ancestor name you are interested in.

I found the online images impossible to read and could not see a method of enlarging them but it is easy to save to your hard drive. Then simply open in any graphic program and enlarge to a size that suits you. See AllCensusRecords.com for more census records online
